Ford Unleashes the Strength of All-New Freestyle
The automotive industry has predicted that crossovers will make it big in the driving world. Further, the industry anticipated that crossovers will outsell SUVs. This anticipation was made apparent in the launching of the all-new Ford Freestyle.
Ford Motor Company hitched on the modern car trends as it introduced in 2004 its crossover named Freestyle. At that time, crossover does not really ring a bell. In fact, it sounded more like a stitch technique than a vehicle.
Nowadays, crossover is getting a whole new different attention as it invades the automotive world with a brand new power, performance and a raging elegance.
Ford is soon to launch MKX and Edge. On one hand, Mazda will also make a debut for its CX-7 and CX-9. Indeed, the consumers are now unraveling the true worth of CUVs.
"We're still defining the segment. Even though crossovers are becoming more popular, the general public is still unclear as to what is a crossover.
Is it like an SUV, or a station wagon, or something else?," says Tom Aubrey, marketing manager of Freestyle.
Aubrey further added, "We had to define the SUV to customers and that simply takes time. We're now in the same position with crossovers. As more CUVs reach the market, customers should begin to become more familiar with the segment's strengths."
The 2006 Ford Freestyle has gained the highest rating of Good. Aside from that, it bagged the best pick designation in frontal offset crash test performance by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Freestyle is also considered as a top performer in the rollover stability test conducted by the government.
2007 Freestyle updates include the installation of SIRUIS satellite radio as well as DVD Navigation.
Quality aftermarket Ford Freestyle parts also include beefy 18-inches wheels. Two striking colors are made available for Freestyle - the Alloy Clearcoat Metallic and Dune Pearl Clearcoat Metallic. These are the strengths and versatility incorporated in the new Freestyle.

Home Equity ? Let the Market Eliminate Your Private Mortgage Insurance
In decades past, most people who were interested in obtaining a home loan were required to put down at least 20% of the purchase price. Those days are gone, and as home prices have risen faster than incomes, the average down payment required by lenders has dropped. In fact, it is often possible to buy a home with no down payment at all. Nationally, the average down payment is a 3%. It's nice to be able to buy a home with such a small amount of ready cash, but there is a downside ? if the down payment is less than 20%, the lender requires that private mortgage insurance (PMI) be added to the house note.
No one likes to pay PMI; the payment doesn't go towards paying off the house and the payments aren't tax deductible. And the PMI payments aren't trivial; the monthly PMI payment on a home priced at the U.S. median price of $206,000 with a 3% down payment is $129. Lenders require that borrowers pay PMI until the borrowed amount becomes less than 80% of the value of the home. In years...

The Index has fluctuated quite a bit in the past two years, showing a 14% increase in 2005 and a 5% decrease for 2006.
